Hold until the temperature remains constant all over then cool in a furnace.

Carburising

870 - 900ºC

Hold until the temperature remains constant all over then quench in water, oil or brine.

Following core refining process re-heat and hold until the temperature is constant all over. Quench in water.

Tempering

150 - 200ºC

Re-heat then hold until the temperature remains constant all over. Soak for 1 hour per 25 mm of section then cool in still air. Tempering will improve the toughness of the case and help to reduce grinding cracks.

Normalising

890 - 940ºC

Hold until the temperature remains constant all over. Soak for 10 - 15 minutes then cool in still air.

Stress Relieving

Carbon Steels BRIGHT FREE CUTTING Product Shortname: BFCI, BFCM, BFCF, BFCH Free machining steel widely used for parts and components where extensive machining is involved and strength/impact properties are not critical. The combination of manganese and sulphur form manganese sulphide inclusions which effectively act as “chip breakers” during machining allowing this grade to be machined at high speed with no adverse effect on tool life.

Typical Applications: Nuts, bolts, gears and parts exposed to low stress levels etc. Colour Code: Metric – Orange and Imperial - Red Welding: Precautions required due to sulphur content. Related Specifications

Hold until the temperature remains constant all over. Soak for 1 hour per 25mm of section then cool in still air.

Nitriding

Aluminium Bronze ALUMINIUM BRONZE 954 Characteristics: Alloy 954 is very hard and abrasion resistant, having excellent

strength and wear resistance with reasonable machining properties. These physical properties remain good at elevated temperatures. General corrosion resistance is good but under some circumstances may suffer dealuminification.

Applications: Alloy 954 is suitable for high strength bearings and has good impact

resistance but poor anti seizure properties requiring reliable full film lubrication to prevent metal to metal contact and possible scoring.

The workplaces must be evenly heated to the specified temperature over their entire cross section. No further soaking is required in normalizing and hardening. For stress relieving and tempering a minimum soaking time of 30 minutes is required. However, a total of 150 minutes should generally not be exceeded in the case of multiple annealing. When soaking for more than 90 minutes the temperature should remain close to the lower limit of the range.

A) The tolerances above are based on the following method of measuring straightness; departure from straightness is measured by placing the bar on a level table so that the arc or departure from straightness is horizontal and the depth of the arc is measured with a feeler gauge and a straightedge. B) It should be recognised that straightness is a perishable quality and may be altered by mishandling. The preservation of straightness in cold-finished bars required the utmost care in subsequent handling. Specific straightness tolerances are sometimes required for carbon and alloy steels in which case the purchaser should inform the manufacturer of the straightness tolerances and the methods to be used in checking the straightness. C) For centreless ground bars, the maximum deviation straightness shall be less than 0.30mm over 1 metre.

Premachined steels offer the user smooth surface of the bars with machining allowances already strongly narrowed down. The advantages of a premachined surface can be seen from the diagram. Dependent on the size, 7 to 10% of the weight can be saved.

Units of Stress:

This book has used the megapascal (MPa) as the standard unit of stress. The same values may be seen in other publications as Newtons per square millimetre (N/mm2). To obtain other units of stress the following conversion factors may be used to get approximate values.
